There's another Florida skunk ape sighting story in the newspaper, this one from around Lakeland. Funny thing is, the woman who says she saw it by the highway can't remember if it stunk or not. That ruins it for me. Without its famous overpowering stench, it's just an ape in a ditch. People have been reporting sightings for 200 years now.
My brother swears he saw one. I told him saying things like that makes him sound nutty to people, but that makes him tell it more. He enjoys flying in the face of public opinion.
Do I think he saw one? Hell, no. I think he saw a bear or something and his vivid imagination turned it into a skunk ape.
I, on the other hand, once got woken up by a ghost soldier in the barracks at Fort Devens.
